– TNA Knockout Tara spoke with The Sun this week and says she almost retired when she left WWE a few years back:

“When I left the WWE I really did think that was it, I was through with wrestling. It seemed like I was not good enough to hold a title or get a good storyline anymore, but yet I was used as a tool to help new girls improve and gain confidence, I’d lost my interest.”

“I knew about TNA and I first started watching it when Awesome Kong and Gail Kim started tearing the house down with their classic matches. It wasn’t until I spoke to them that I realised that the schedule would be so much easier on my body. TNA offered me a deal of no house shows and only TV tapings initially. I couldn’t resist that. I’m so glad now as I see the division being as hot today as the WWE glory days of myself, Trish, Lita and Mickie.”

– Word going around is that Ric Flair has signed a major business deal that has nothing to do with pro wrestling.
